Wordhaus - marathons, footie, and music

Galway Advertiser, Thu, Apr 17, 2014

Keith Wallace.

NORTH POLE marathons, underground Irish music, and poems about football will all feature in the third Wordhaus event on Wednesday April 23 at 6.45pm.

Wordhaus, a showcase of pioneering craft, ideas, and ventures in the Bierhaus bar, will feature Ray Cuddihy, a broadcaster, puppeteer, and founder of Wingnut Records; and Keith Wallace, the founder of the independent record label Rusted Rail, described by An Taobh Tuathail’s Cian Ó Cíobháin as a “weird-beard alt-folk boutique label”.

Also on the bill is Richard Donovan in conversation with basketball coach and Bierhaus owner, Jack Considine. Richard was the first person to run a marathon at both the North and South poles and holds the current world record for running marathons on all seven continents - four days, 22 hours, and three minutes.

Elaine Cosgrove is the host. There will be a pop-up display of poems about football.
